Member Review

I joined the Writers' Union because it is a 'Union.' That is, it is an organization that responds to its membership and provides a forum for us to express and debate common concerns. It has been important to me, for example, to collectively consider issues such as the appropriation of voice, the representation of writers of colour, and the protection of the creative community.

Diane Sims

Diane Sims has been a writer for more than 20 years. She worked in national print and broadcast media, was an editor at a publishing house and then corporate editor at a Crown corporation -- before ovarian cancer changed her life and writing. She is the author of three books, one of which was published in Japan and China, another of which was published in France. She has had short stories published in half a dozen American anthologies. Di is finishing two manuscripts that should be published in 2008 -- if the publishers survive!
